Saudi Arabia's national afforestation program achieves major milestones with 141 million trees planted
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification in Saudi Arabia revealed that the National Afforestation Program has achieved tangible results, planting more than 141 million trees and rehabilitating more than 310,000 hectares of degraded land using rainwater and treated water, ensuring the conservation of natural resources. This came in a speech delivered by the CEO of the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification, Khaled Al-Abdulqader, at a workshop in Riyadh. He stated that the Saudi Green Initiative represents a qualitative shift in the national environmental agenda, as it aims to plant 10 billion trees, equivalent to rehabilitating approximately 40 million hectares of degraded land. He also announced the adoption of unified scientific standards for rehabilitation, calling on all participating parties to adhere to them and submit periodic reports on what has been implemented in accordance with the approved mechanism. The program also witnessed the launch of the "Land Rehabilitation Guide in Non-Agricultural Areas in the Kingdom," which serves as a scientific and practical reference that unifies concepts and guides projects in accordance with approved best practices. This enhances the efficiency of resource use and ensures the sustainability of environmental rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia's diverse environments. It also embodies Saudi's commitment to achieving the goals of the Saudi Green Initiative by expanding the scope of rehabilitation to include all types of land. The Saudi Green Initiative is an ambitious national initiative aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change, improving quality of life, and protecting the environment, for the benefit of future generations. It also supports Saudi Arabia's efforts to achieve net-zero carbon neutrality by 2060 by adopting a circular carbon economy model and is working to accelerate Saudi Arabia's transition to a green economy. The initiative seeks to achieve three ambitious goals: reducing carbon emissions, afforestation, and protecting land and marine areas.

Saudi Arabia welcomes US-Houthi ceasefire deal
New land restoration guide to unify afforestation efforts RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has taken another step toward its ambitious afforestation goals with the publication of the official Land Restoration Guide for Non-Agricultural Areas. The guide is a comprehensive manual that will serve as a unified reference to direct environmental restoration projects across the Kingdom. It aims to ensure sustainable land management practices and support the goals of the Saudi Green Initiative, one of which is to plant 10 billion trees — the equivalent of rehabilitating 40 million hectares of degraded land. The National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification announced its publication on Wednesday with an event titled 'The Road to Restoring 40 Million Hectares.' Organized under the national afforestation program, the event brought together a range of experts to align on best practices and scientific approaches to land rehabilitation. Sameer Maleakah, director of the center's afforestation department, highlighted the Kingdom's ambitious environmental restoration goals. 'So far, we've restored over 313,000 hectares across various regions of the Kingdom,' Maleakah told Arab News. 'But it's not just about planting. Restoration begins with protecting the degraded areas — those affected by overgrazing, illegal logging, or desertification caused by human activities. 'We return these areas to their natural state, and once restored, they foster biodiversity, richer vegetation and denser tree cover. These sites then serve as natural parks or forests — whether mountainous or valley-based,' he added. Maleakah also highlighted the importance of inclusive action. 'It's crucial to involve local communities, civil society organizations and take full advantage of existing legislation, rainfall and cloud-seeding technologies to ensure success.' The center's CEO, Dr. Khalid Al-Abdulkader, echoed the importance of the program in his opening remarks, saying that land restoration is not only vital for environmental sustainability, but also plays a major role in food security, combating climate change and supporting rural livelihoods. With more than 141 million trees planted to date and restoration efforts underway using rainfall and treated water, the center continues to position the afforestation program as a long-term investment in Saudi Arabia's ecological and developmental future.
